We’ll be a lot thinner on offensive skill players without him. We’ll struggle to maximize CeeDee’s $32+ million per season contract with a lesser QB. The money all teams are paying for QB’s is a problem.
Maybe but maybe not....Tyreek Hill downgraded at QB but still led the league in receiving last year. Mike Evans broke 1200 yards with Baker Mayfield, Amari Cooper broke 1250 with most of his balls coming from Flacco and Thompson-Robinson. DJ Moore put up 1300 yards with a now backup QB. Jamaar Chase did it with mostly snap from a back up QB. Davante Adam, Micheal Pittman, George Pickens, DeAndre Hopkins, Chris Olave, DK Metcalf, Garrett Wilson, Chris Godwin, Adam Theiland, Terry McLaurin all put up over 1000 yards last year with lesser QBs than Dak, some of those really bad QBs.
I agree that he probably wont go 135/1700/12 without Dak, but if the Cowboys would invest in the run game and a legitimate number 2 receiver who could play the X when Lamb moves to the slot you don't need that type of production out of him. These are the things I just don't see the Cowboys doing in the next couple of year if they pay all all three of Dak, Lamb, and Parsons.
